Today, the president said: "Ukraine will continue to need strong international support in the fight against Russian aggression.

"But securing this support is becoming increasingly difficult for our diplomats due to different objective and subjective factors."

He added: "Over the course of the next year, political forces could come to power as a result of elections in several European countries that may not be extremist, but are inclined to compromise with the Kremlin."

"Europe still speaks with one voice, but there are also countries where the Russian accent is already too audible."
